Toy recycling has arrived!

We are currently trialling Toy recycling at the mini recycling centre at  Tudor Grange, Monkspath and Castle Bromwich Parish Council.

Please place all completed board games, games and unbroken toys into the bank. Unfortunately, we are not able to accept any broken toys.

All toys, games and board games will be resused in developing countires. 

If succesful the toy banks will be extended to other areas in the borough.

A to Z of Recycling

Solihull Council have produced an A to Z of Recycling booklet to help you recycle. This A-Z provides details of how you can dispose of unwanted items without just throwing them in the bin. Most items in a household bin can be recycled or reused.

If you would like a copy of this booklet for reference please contact us on 0121 704 8000 of email wasteandrecycling@solihull.gov.uk

Waste to Energy

Solihull has met the targets set for recovery of energy from waste. The collected household waste is disposed of via a Waste to Energy plant in Coventry, that Solihull Council part own.

Energy and heat produced is used to heat the plant and neighbouring factories, steam is used to produce electricity, which is sold back to the National Grid. For information on the Coventry and Solihull Waste to Energy plan see http://www.cswdc.co.uk/
